I Feel the Love Project- July 2014

Last month I should have said welcome to the first project of year 4! We just completed our third year with over 30 projects being successfully shipped out. Time flies!

July 2014 I Feel the Love Project

Friendship Home exists to support, shelter and advocate for

victims of domestic violence and their children.

Friendship Home Seeks To:

Provide a continuum of safe, confidential shelter options--from emergency shelter through transitional shelter.
Provide a rich array of crisis intervention services, case management and emotional support to those we shelter as well as those who are waiting for shelter; helping them to rebuild their lives, free from fear.
Continue to reach out to survivors through individual advocacy, emergency case management and support groups after they leave shelter, offering an environment where survivors feel welcome and are encouraged to share their stories and their wisdom with others.

Please join us as we create handcrafted cards for the children and families who utilize this agency. We would like to create blank and unsigned cards of support, as well as unsigned birthday cards. These cards can be kept on hand and used as needed. Please consider joining us this month!

If you would like to be a part of this month's project:

All you need to do is:

I Feel the Love Project- May 2014

Welcome to Funky Cards

Our recipients continue to want to pay it forward, so the I Feel the Love Project would like to shine a light this month on a sweet little girl that Maddy (March 2014) and her family met while undergoing treatment in the hospital.

Please join us as we create handcrafted cards for Violet and her family, the May 2014 I Feel the Love Project card recipients. Maddy's mother shared that this family can really use our love and support right now. Please consider joining us this month!

In June of 2013, Violet was diagnosed with infant leukemia (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) when she was just 10 months old. She is an amazing little girl who is the youngest of three other siblings. She loves making silly faces with her brothers and sister, playing peekaboo, and chowing down on delicious bread products!

Violet is currently receiving chemotherapy and blood transfusions at a local hospital. She has already had two surgeries to prepare her for her treatments. Her family lives an hour away from the hospital. When her at-home care begins, they will still return to the hospital for treatment throughout the month. Her prognosis is promising, but she and her family have a long road ahead of them that will last at least two years.

We will be collecting cards for Violet, but if you would like to include a card for her parents that would be great! The cards can be signed and it is always fun to include where you are from in your card.

I Feel the Love Project- April 2014
Please join us this month as we create handcrafted greeting cards to send to the Violet and her family. If you would like to be a part of this month's project:

Big Smiles from Maddy!

Maddy was one happy girl when we went to visit her to bring her the gifts you all made. Her smile just lights up the room doesn't it? She couldn't wait to open the cards and have her mom read them to her!

Beautiful piece of art!

Love the flowers!

Adorable finger puppets!

Cards for Maddy!
